Disturbance legacies in arid environments shape recovery of former agricultural land
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Increasingly, arid agricultural land is being permanently taken out of irrigated production due to more frequent drought, higher temperatures, and the overconsumption of groundwater, with important ramifications for ecological recovery.

Soil inoculation enhances early‐phase reintroduction success in two rare plant species
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Reintroduction for conservation is an important measure to restore populations of vulnerable plant species. However, reintroduction success rates are relatively low. Inoculating reintroduced plants with facilitative microorganisms from native populations may enhance their performance.

Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres, 2019 Aeolian sand transport near the surface in the field often occurs in the form of sand streamers, which is very important to understand in‐depth the physics of aeolian transport and accurately predict the sand transport rate. In this paper, sand streamers

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The standard subdivision of a distributive fluvial system (DFS) into proximal, medial and distal zones is typically based on the proportion of channel bodies and/or the degree of channel amalgamation, reflecting a downstream fining trend towards a mud‐prone terminal pinch‐out.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Process‐based depositional models for perennially ice‐covered lakes (PICLs) are important for interpreting palaeolake deposits and their connection to past climate. PICLs are only stable under specific climate states, and unlike other ice‐free or seasonally ice‐covered lakes, PICL deposits generally have bimodal grain sizes: mud introduced by ...

Control Effects of Five Common Solid Waste Backfilling Materials on In Situ Strata of Gob
Energies, 2019 Solid backfill mining as a green mining method has already been successfully applied in many mine sites. Higher requirements for the backfilling materials have been put forward in special regions, such as shallow coal seams, ecologically susceptible ...
